(i) 
(ii) 
(iii) 
(iv) 
(v)

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
Among the given structures of 1-methoxy-1,3butadiene, four structures, i.e. (i), (ii), (iv) and
(v) are consider as a stable resonating structure. In structures (i) and (ii), octet of all the atoms are complete and is structures (iii) and (iv), the electron deficiency of positive charged carbon is compensated by lone pair electrons of adjacent oxygen atom while such neighbour group support is not available in structure (iii).
